The AM1 Fiberglass fin was designed by iconic shaper Al Merrick. Of the three AM1 sets this is the stiffest version, making it optimal for stability and control in powerful surf while the additional rake provides hold when driving through carves. A wide base and refined tip provides hold off the bottom and release off of the top while the fiberglass adds durability in reef breaks.

FIBERGLASS

Fiberglass is stiff and tough for heavy conditions or surfers that appreciate very stiff fins.

RIDE NUMBER

3.0/10

Ride Number is all about how your equipment feels while you're surfing. Now you can choose a Speed Generating Feel that is springy and responsive by picking a fin in the 10-7 range, or a solid, engaged, and predictable feel from the Speed Control category rated 4-1. For a Balanced feel try a Ride Number of 7-4.

Flat foiled fins break free sooner, and are better at controlling speed. Often surfers prefer them in fast powerful surf where they do not need to create additional speed. If you have muscle memory from riding glass-ons, flat foiled fins will feel the closest.
